[LINK] Uniform Office Format from China

[Tom Worthington]

The topic of if China would be content to use western developed 
standards came up at the China New Media conference I have been 
attending in Brisbane 
<http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2007/07/china-and-australia-using-new-media-for.html>. 
One I just noticed is that China developed an XML based "Uniform 
Office Format" (UOF) 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Office_Format>, similar to the 
ODF standard. There would seem to be no good reason why the world 
would need another XML based office format, but then Microsoft have 
proposed one, so why not China?
